City of Hope creates innovative platform for landmark study, opening data to more people

(City of Hope) A $12 million federal grant enabled City of Hope and collaborators to deploy a novel cloud-computing platform, making an immense amount of data from a historic 25-year study more accessible and user-friendly. The ongoing California Teachers Study that first began in 1995 has already given researchers a bevy of data on how to prevent or treat cancers, heart conditions and Alzheimer's disease. In the past, this data was available only to a select few researchers.
